Thoughts as I Read: The Grace Year
Major Spoilers Ahead
Autumn
I hate the men already
At least her father’s okay.
Nevermind, he’s a pig.
Off Tierney is Katniss-level oblivious
Hans is sweet and so sad
Wait, WTF, her mother is eating human remains
I bet its Michael. Yup. Poor boy.
I don’t think these girls have magic.
Well, the poachers are real at least
Jeez, this book is a bloodbath
Kiersten better not survive
This competition for power is fierce
It’s really Lord of the Flies out here
““Look around, we are the only Gods here.””
Winter
She really said I’d rather freeze
Whoooooo dis?
Well, it’s not Hans. There goes my theory.
Yo she was so wrong about her dad!!!!!
And her mom!!!!
Dude, this whole society is f’ed in the b.
They’re falling in love. I’m not a fan of instalove but this book is hella bleak so I’ll take it.
Spring
Anders is going to be a problem
The well is poison and these girls be wildin thinking they have magic!!!!
The cures is smallpox?!!??!?!?!
Welp, he’s officially a problem
Go get you some, girl!
How is Gertrude still alive
There’s no way Tierney is going to survive this. They are going to cast her out or burn her at the stake.
I now want to know the language of flowers
Summer
I don’t think it’s Kiersten braiding her hair
It’s not Anders. He didn’t sound this smart earlier
OMG IT WAS HANS
I hate this book
Ugh Kiersten just go away
This is moving too fast, Ryker nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
““I always believed in you, in her, in change; you just didn’t believe in me.””
The Return
How did I miss that she’s pregnant
Her mother is the usurper woahhhhhhh
Okay these last pages are breaking my heart
Michael is a class act
Aw Gertrude found happiness
He burned down the apothecary for her. Wait, no . FOR HIMSELF
She really sees now what all the women before her have been trying to change. She is one of many powerful, beautiful, and strong women slowly changing the world for the better.
Wow. Just wow.
